When i saw Mayer i thought he revenged that shamefull loss from Shanghai, but this is not that Mayer
I don´t know how anyone can jugde his form from this match, we will see how he will progress further in tournament, but no wonder that he will be doing fine here, IW courts always were great for him - i think IW are best possible HC for Nadal, slow but high bounce, that means he has both 2 major things here - slow means his deffense can be too much for anyone - guys like Federer will turn into error mode against him on such courts and high bounce - topspin effective, can dictate points.

We should be appreciative of Federer though, because we will never see anything like him again. The fact he can still compete for slams ever after the erosion of his physical skills is really a greater testament to the natural talent he has than the period of time when he was dominating the tour.

You've now only got four more practice matches until you INITIATE War with Nole 2.0. You MUST continue to improve so you can finally get this Issue Fixed, Resolved, Validated and Closed.

Oh yeah, and Message to Frauderer: If you plan on making it to court this coming Saturday, don't forget to bring some Egg Salad for your personal baptism as Rafa's Turkey. For once I'm actually hoping you make it through your Cupcake draw and don't Chicken out, and come ready to play in the Semis. I'm already basting a fresh Turkey for next Saturday and I'm calling him "Muger" in honor of the HUMILIATION Rafa is going to inflict upon you given your recent classless and arrogant remarks.

Something tells me your Ego may override your common sense, Muger, and you might actually show up thinking you have a chance to win. I just can't wait....
